Chapter 328


    Thssa’s lip twitched slightly after listening to her mom. If she told her mom that she’d returned the


    car to thepany, Evelyn would probably blow her top.

    But hey, there was always another day to break the news.


    After dinner, Thssa headed out to pick them up.


    She arrived at the hospital where Isabe was being cared for.


    She walked into the ward, her memory guiding her to Isabe’s room.


    Halfway there, a man suddenly emerged from a room.


    The man had a bandage wrapped around his waist and one leg, and he needed a crutch to walk.


    Thssa thought he was just an ordinary patient, so she didn’t pay him any attention and intended to


    walk past him.


    But the guy blocked her path. His tall figure stood in front of her, and then he opened his mouth in a


    pained voice, “Thssa, it’s you. You’re here to see your dad, aren’t you?”


    The word “dad” seemed to trigger something fragile in Thssa. She looked up sharply at the man in


    front of her. Upon closer inspection, she realized that this wasn’t just any man, it was Bruce!


    Thssa instantly went on guard, stating coldly, “Don’t mistake me for someone else. I don’t have a


    dad!”


    With that, she tried to walk past him:


    But Bruce stepped forward, grabbing her hand, “Thssa, it’s all my fault. If I’d known your mom didn’t


    have an abortion all those years ago and gave birth to you, I would’ve stepped up and performed my


    duty. I would’ve raised you, spoiled you. Your mom lied to me and she said that she had an abortion.”


    Bruce’s voice was filled with regret and self-reproach.


    Looking into his eyes, Thssa could clearly see the paternal love there.


    As she listened to his words, watched his expression, Thssa’s usually tough exterior softened


    unexpectedly.


    Growing up, “father” had always been a distant concept for Thssa.


    Every time she saw other kids being spoiled by their fathers, she couldn’t help but feel lonely.


    Especially after her cousin, Celia, had passed away. Celia’s father had fallen ill and died not long after


    due to grief.


    These events gave Thssa a deeper understanding of “fatherly love”. It was a love as grand as a


    mountain, as deep as the ocean.


    A father’s love for his daughter could be so profound that it turned into sickness from longing.


    She too had yearned for a father who would love her.


    When she was young, that was just a pipe dream.


    But now, out of the blue, there was someone iming to be her father!


    While she was resistant, she couldn’t fight the deep-seated yearning for a father’s love,


    Thssa twisted her wrist, pulling her fiand from his, “It’s all in the past. You have your life, I have


    mine. Let’s just pretend we don’t know each other. And,” Thssa looked at him calmly, stating


    seriously, “don’t do anything to hurt my mom again. Like what happened a few days ago. If you do, I’ll


    have you thrown in jail!”


    Bruce sighed lightly at her determined expression, speaking in a intive tone, “Thssa, you’ve


    misunderstood me. I was only joking with your mom. I heard she’s still single, I thought she still had


    feelings for me. I got carried away, couldn’t control myself and my emotions. I still have feelings for


    her.”


    “I don’t want to hear it!” Thssa interjected firmly, her anger ring.


    Seeing her about to explode, Bruce immediately shut up, quickly saying, “Okay, okay, if you don’t want


    to hear it, I won’t say anymore.”


    He then pulled out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Thssa, saying, “There’s twenty


    grand on this card, the pin is your mom’s birthday. Take it, consider itpensation for the years of


    responsibility I’ve shirked.”


    Thssa nced at the card, then pushed it away as she was disgusted, “Don’t make me sick, I don’t


    want your money!”
